< テモテへの手紙第二 1 >

1 神の思召によりキリスト、イエズスに於る生命の約束に從ひてキリスト、イエズスの使徒たるパウロ、
Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Messiah Yeshua,
2 至愛の子チモテオに[書簡を贈る]。願はくは父にて在す神、及び我主イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と慈悲と平安とを賜はらんことを。
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
3 第一項 キリストに忠實ならんことを勧む 第一編 福音の為に懼なく戰ふべし 我が祖先以來潔き良心を以て奉事せる神に感謝し奉る、蓋晝夜祈祷の中に絶えず汝を記念し、
I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4 汝の涙を追想して、喜に満たされん為に、汝を見ん事を欲す、
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 是汝に在る偽なき信仰の記憶を有てるによりてなり、此信仰は曩に汝の祖母ロイズと母ユニケとに宿りたれば、汝にも亦然ある事を確信す。
having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 是故に我按手によりて、汝の衷なる神の賜を更に熱せしめん事を勧告す、
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 其は神の我等に賜ひたるは、臆する霊に非ずして、能力と慈愛と節制との霊なればなり。
For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.
8 然れば我主に對する證明と、其囚人たる我とに耻づる事なく、神の能力に應じて福音の為に我と共に苦を忍べ。
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
9 神の我等を救ひ、且聖なる召を以て召し給ひしは、我等の業によれるには非ず、御自らの規定により、又イエズス、キリストに於て世々の以前より我等に賜ひたる恩寵によれるなり。 (aiōnios g166)
who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Messiah Yeshua before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 此恩寵は、今我救主イエズス、キリストの顕れ給ひしによりて證せられたり、即ち彼は死を亡し、福音を以て生命と不朽とを明にし給ひしなり。
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Messiah Yeshua, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11 我は此福音の為に立てられて、宣教者たり、使徒たり、異邦人の教師たり。
For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an emissary, and a teacher.
12 又之が為に斯る苦を受くと雖も之を耻とせず、其は我が信頼し奉れる者の誰なるかを知り、且我に委托し給ひしものを、彼日まで保ち給ふ能力あるを確信すればなり。
For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 汝我に聞きし健全なる言の法を守るに、キリスト、イエズスに於る信仰と愛とを以てし、
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
14 委托せられし善きものを、我等に宿り給ふ聖霊によりて保て。
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Ruach ha-Kodesh who dwells in us.
15 [小]アジアに在る人々の、皆我を離れし事は汝の知る所にして、フィゼロとヘルモゼネスと其中に在り。
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 願はくは主オネジフォロの家に憫を賜はんことを、蓋彼は屡我を励まし、我鎖を耻づる事なく、
May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 ロマに來りし時切に尋ねて我を見出せり。
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 願はくは主彼日に於て、彼に主より憫を得させ給はん事を、彼がエフェゾに於て我を厚遇せし事の如何ばかりなりしかは汝の尚能く知る所なり。
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
